No kidding. It's almost fashionable to be up to your eyeballs in debt. How are today's parents supposed to explain to the younguns that credit cards are not the answer when a tank of gas will eat their entire paycheck for the week?

It's as if our society is now taught to posture ourselves most advantageously for a future of insurmountable debt!
